This updated edition of Secret Affairs delves into the significant events of the past year in the Middle East and the UK. It unveils the unreported attempts by Britain to establish relations with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt following the downfall of Mubarak, the military intervention on behalf of Libyan rebel forces, which include pro-al-Qaeda elements, and the ongoing reliance on the region's ultimate fundamentalist state, Saudi Arabia, to safeguard its interests in the Middle East.

It sheds light on the path of Salman Abedi, the bomber who perpetrated the devastating attack in Manchester in May 2017, and his terror network. Curtis explores how Abedi, who fought in Libya in 2011 as part of a group of fighters permitted by the UK to leave the country to join the fight against Gaddafi, ultimately contributed to the unfolding tragedy.

In this groundbreaking book, Mark Curtis uncovers the covert history of British collusion with radical Islamic and terrorist groups. Secret Affairs reveals how governments since the 1940s have conspired with militant forces to control oil resources and overthrow governments. The story of Britain's role in nurturing the rise of global terrorism has never been fully told before.
